MVP talks about Lashley beating Austin Aries last week, dealing with crybaby wrestlers as the boss and as long as Lashley holds the TNA World Title they have the power and no one can stop them. Bobby Roode arrives. Roode says that he was one of the longest reigning TNA Champions, he knows what it takes to be champion, MVP wanted to be champion but blew out his knee so he's basically riding Lashley's coat tails. Roode asks for a title shot but gets attacked by King and MVP. Austin Aries and Eric Young hit the ring and make the save. MVP says that they are not fighting tonight.

- Samuel Shaw, Mr. Anderson and Gunner vs. Robbie E, Jessie Godderz and DJ Z: Anderson, still not trusting Shaw begins yelling at him. Anderson gets rolled up and pinned in the process. Anderson gets in Shaw's face after the match but Gunner plays peace keeper.

- "Hardcore Weapons of War, Eight Man Street Fight": Team 3D, Tommy Dreamer and a Mystery Partner vs Ethan Carter III, Rhino, Snitsky and Zeke Jackson: This match was designed as a war games type of a match without the cage. Two wrestlers start in the ring then every two minutes one guy from each team comes out with a weapon of their choice. Dixie Carter and her bodyguard, MMA Fighter, King Mo, watched from the balcony.

Tommy Dreamer and ECIII start off the match. Devon and Rhino after that, Bully Ray and Snitsky third and finally Zeke Jackson and the mystery man. The mystery man was Al Snow, which started the "We want head" chants from the crowd. A lot of weapons and violence in this match. The ECW alumni score the pinfall as Team 3D hit Rhino with the "3D". After the match Bully is on the hunt for Dixie Carter. Dixie still says she won't go through a table because she has MMA fighter King Mo watching her back. Dixie promises Mo will knock out Bully tonight.

- Angelina Love cuts a promo. Angelina makes fun of Taryn Terrell and demands a TNA Knockout Title Match right now. Tarrell arrives and
calls Love a ho. Love disagrees as Gail Kim arrives. Kim says Tarrell will get a shot at Love and asks Velvet Sky how she likes being Angelina's second fiddle. We'll have a match between the four next week.

- Team Dixie comes to the ring to cut a promo. Dixie fires everyone on Team Dixie for losing their match earlier. Her temper tantrum is interrupted by Bully Ray, Devon and Tommy Dreamer, with table in hand. King Mo hits Dreamer and we have a brawl. Bully steps in and knocks Mo out. Rockstar Spud saved Dixie and they escaped from the ring. The TNA locker room arrive and block Dixie from escaping any further. Dreamer grabs Dixie and tosses her back into the ring.

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, 7.4.14: TNA Impact

IT'S REAL.....IT'S DAMN REAL!!!

Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle, made his return to a full time TNA TV spot last week. How is that possible you say? Considering Angle is on the sidelines after having surgery on his leg a month and a half ago? TNA Board of Directors made the decision to strip MVP of all his powers of running TNA. Which opened the door for wrestling's only Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle, to be promoted by the BOD's as the new sheriff in town. Angle wasted no time in getting comfortable with his new job. Angle reinstated the recently permanently suspended Bobby Roode and gave Eric Young his rematch against Bobby Lashley for the TNA World Title. What other surprises will Kurt Angle have in store for us? Keep reading my weekly recaps and I'll keep you informed.

Today's Wrestling Lockup with Brandon is brought to you by Triple Threat Podcast. In this edition it's the TNA Impact recap edition. Let's get things started.

Samoa Joe comes out and he looks mad. Joe accuses Angle of taking his new job just so he can give himself a TNA World Title Match when he's 100%.

Twitter Corner:
- Bobby Roode sent out a tweet this week about his current suspension by MVP. Roode tweeted "Week 2 of my Bull S*** suspension.... @The305MVP you do realize, you can't keep me gone forever......." Roode looks like a man on a mission and has his sights set on the current money man of TNA.
- Dixie Carter tweeted out her comments on tonight after the show on Twitter with the following. "@REALBully5150 must REALLY love tables… he went through another one." I'm sure Bully has revenge on his mind, and a table with Dixie and Ethan's names on it.

Wrestling Lockup With Brandon, 5.2.14: TNA Impact

What's up gang?! Welcome to another edition of Wrestling Lockup with Brandon. It's TNA Impact recap Friday in this edition. Last night was the first Impact episode following TNA's Sacrifice pay per view on Sunday. What's next for Eric Young as he successfully defended his TNA World Title against Magnus? How will Bully Ray retaliate on Dixie Carter after Dixie cost him his "Tables Match" against Bobby Roode? I'll be recapping those and recapping possible new feuds in the making that began last night. TNA's next major pay per view will be TNA Slammiversary XII, which will take place on June 15, 2014 at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas. Let's get things started on this edition.

Highlights of Impact:
- MVP plays a card game with Bobby Roode, Mr. Anderson and Gunner. Two low cards wrestle and the high card faces the winner of the two low cards. The winner of this mini tournament would meet Eric Young for the TNA World Title in the main event. Gunner and Mr. Anderson drew low cards and faced off first. Bobby Roode would go on to win and advance to meet EY later.
- Magnus and Abyss' feud continued as Abyss attacked Magnus while he was cutting a promo about not being included in MVP's game. Magnus escaped as Abyss went to get "Janice" to use.
- Bully Ray's feud with Dixie Carter heated up as Bully brought out a table with "Dixie" written on it. Bully promised to put Dixie through it. Dixie with security in toll came out and sat on the "Dixie" table and cut a promo on how she put Bully through a table at Sacrifice. Bully takes out Dixie's security and goes to put her through the table. MVP makes the save for Dixie and bans both Dixie and Bully from the building. Bully said he was going to the next logical place....Nashville.
- ECIII finally grows a set and challenges Kurt Angle to a match next week.
- Mr. Anderson and James Storm look to be moving toward a feud as they got involved in each other's matches.
- The Beautiful People celebrate Angelina Love's Knockouts Title victory at Sacrifice by teasing a strip tease. Gail Kim, Brittney and Madison Rayne show up and fullfill the male fans fantasy by stripping Love and Sky out of their dresses.
- Eric Young continued on as the underdog fighting champion. EY faced Bobby Roode in the main event and scored a clean pin to close out the show.

Quick Match Results:
- "Endurance Match": Gunner def. Mr. Anderson by pin after James Storm interferes.
- "Endurance Match 2": Bobby Roode def. Gunner by pin.
- Willow def. James Storm by DQ after Mr. Anderson interferes.
- Sanada and The Wolves def. The Bromans and DJ Z by pin.
- TNA World Title Match: Eric Young (c) def. Bobby Roode by pin to retain the TNA World Title.

TNA News and Rumors:
- TNA Wrestling’s next On Demand “One Night Only” show to premiere on pay-per-view will be “Joker’s Wild 2″ on Friday, May 9, 2014
- Though unofficially announced yet, the main event of TNA Slammiversary is being rumored to be TNA World Champion Eric Young defending the title against MVP. I love the fact that they let Eric Young run with the TNA World Title considering he's been with the company for so long, however, if this match happens I predict MVP walks out the new champ as TNA will build MVP as a Triple H type character.
- Another big name star may be on his way out soon as Kazarian's contract expires shortly. TNA has yet to offer Kazarian a new one and his contract will end the second week of May. Kazarian will join Sting, AJ Styles, Chris Sabin and Christopher Daniels on the list of talent that has exited TNA. My prediction on this is Styles, Kazarian, Daniels and Sabin I think will all end up in Jeff Jarrett's GFW promotion.

And that's a wrap my friends I will be back next Friday for another TNA Impact recap of the show and news going on within the company. Till then tap or snap.
